“Keep away from these men [Peter and John] and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!" So they took his advice. - Act 5:38-39
Men have opposed Christianity since it’s very beginning. It’s a threat to their power over the people. (Earlier in the chapter, we are told the leaders were jealous.) The advice one leader, Gamaliel, gave them should be preached to persecutors today. We know we will be persecuted; they should know they are opposing a mighty and powerful God – something to be feared. Stand up for your faith
